Notes / Commercial Description:
We pronounce it “sta-leep-ah”; you pronounce it how you like. STLIPA, which is the acronym for St. Louis India Pale Ale, is actually a DIPA (Double or Imperial IPA, double the stats of a traditional IPA). We hope it’s a “sleepe” that you’ll include in your set of favorite DIPA’s from one of the best beer cities in the world St. Louis. Hops- Sterling, Cascade, Mt. Hood, Willamette, Chinook.

A pretty brew, with clear orange body and white wispy head, lots of lacing. The nose is quiet, and what is there is floral and a bit soapy. Flavor is traditional IPA, bitter with a bit of pine and lemony hop notes. The close, all told, lands pretty light, and the drying is minimal. Not one I'd reach for a 6-pack, but fine for a dinner IPA, when the option presents itself.

Pours a cloudy golden amber / yellow with frothy layers of head that cling after each sip. Smells of citrus rind, malts, grapefruit, resinous, and a bit of grass. Taste follows with some dynamic hops characteristics - citrus, juicy fruits, and a bit of hop resin. Malts stand up to balance this brew nicely and the mouth feel is smooth considering the ABV. Overall, this is a solid brew.
